Christmas dinner is not over until somebody has set fire to something. A Thursday Cottage Christmas Pudding is a very good candidate.
This is the little one: a pudding for one, or for two people who are being polite about it, boxed and ready to go. Dark, dense and properly British, it turns up after everyone has sworn they could not eat another thing. It still gets finished.
If Christmas in Canada has been missing that last course, here it is. It is the UK pudding, and we ship it from within Canada, so a taste of home does not have to wait for a flight.
Frequently asked questions about Thursday Cottage Christmas Pudding Boxed
Q: How big is this pudding?
A: It is the small one, 112g, which is a good single serving. Two people can share it if they are on speaking terms.
Q: Is it a good Christmas gift for someone who misses home?
A: Very much so. It is small, it comes boxed, and it is the sort of thing a British expat opens and goes quiet for a second.
Q: Do I need anything else to serve it?
A: Only the pudding is in the box, so the custard, cream or brandy butter debate is yours to settle. Heat it as the pack says and bring it to the table with some ceremony.
More about Thursday Cottage Christmas Pudding Boxed
In a British Christmas the pudding is the final act. The lights go off, it gets warmed, doused and lit, and somebody carries it in looking far too pleased with themselves. Then comes the real argument: custard, cream or brandy butter.
Plenty of people in Canada do a perfectly good turkey every year. The pudding is the bit you cannot make up on the day, and it is usually the bit an expat notices is missing, somewhere between the crackers and the Queen's speech reruns.
At 112g this is a single portion in a box, which makes it handy for a small Christmas, a quiet one, or the person at the table who insists on their own. Warm it the way the pack tells you, and it sits happily in the cupboard until it is needed.
If the whole family is coming, get a bigger pudding for the table and keep this one back as your Boxing Day secret. It also slips into a parcel with mince pies and a box of crackers for anyone far from home.

The story of Thursday Cottage Christmas Pudding Boxed
By Aaron A. | October 13, 2026
Room for pudding, apparently
Christmas dinner is not finished until the pudding turns up. You know the moment. Everyone has sworn they are full, the paper hats have slipped, somebody has undone a button, and then the bowls come out anyway. This one is from Thursday Cottage, handmade by a maker that specialises in jam, marmalade and curd. Somebody at the table will say they will just have a little bit. They will not have a little bit.
Read the full story
It started in an actual cottage
Thursday Cottage was founded in 1963 in a cottage of that name outside Spaxton, Somerset. That is a better origin story than most business parks can offer. For many years it was owned and run by Hugh and Pam Corbin of Lyme Regis, who sold it in 2002. Through all of that, the idea stayed small on purpose: luxury handmade jams, marmalades and curds for the independent trade. It is the sort of jar you spot in a good local shop, not stacked by the hundred at the end of an aisle.
Now living in Tiptree
Thursday Cottage is now an independent part of the Tiptree group, and production is based at Trewlands Farm in Tiptree, Essex, where the range is still handmade. Its parent, Wilkin & Sons Ltd, was established in Tiptree in 1885 and has held a Royal Warrant for preserves and marmalades continuously since 1911. These days the warrant names them Purveyors of Tiptree Products to King Charles III. Each boil at Thursday Cottage still produces only about 100 jars. Nobody is in a hurry, and it shows.
The rest of the cupboard
If the pudding is the main event, the range has the supporting cast sorted. There is Amaretto Butter, sold as a twist on traditional brandy butter and handmade in small batches, for the people who think the butter is the real reason for pudding. Boxing Day breakfast gets the Fine Cut Orange Marmalade with Whisky, and the Strawberry Jam with Champagne waits for whoever is still celebrating. Toast at noon in your dressing gown counts as a British Christmas tradition.
